I think to pay for Janssen and Wanyama.Whoa, Tottenham fire sale. Are we flogging all these players to raise money for the stadium?
Well with Mason departing that leaves us with negative net spend...
Hope I am wrong but I would bet we will only get that French geezer in and that's the end of our business
Couldn't honestly give a fuck about the Lopez transfer

You've lost me.
Good luck to Mason at Hull, our second team now!
Was right behind the goal for that. That goal woke us up.
Pritchard + Mason + Chadli + Yedlin = Approx £35 million
Janssen + Wanyama = £28/29 million
Add new TV money and Champions League - and all the wages we've shifted - and it will be a travesty if we don't invest in the squad.
Reports saying we're not interest in Zaha anymore so who's left?
Nkoudou is done. Sissoko for £25 million? Isco on loan? Completely left-field signing?
Janssen + Wanyama = £28/29 million

Best part about that is Soldado still couldn't fucking score on an uncontested open net
Yayyyyyy levy has got his positive net spend again.
Really sad to see Mason go. Might not have been quite up to the level we need but he was a true Spur.
It is looking more likely that N'Koudou and Lopez will be our only signings which is a big concern. Our squad is good but we are lacking 1 or 2 additions if we hope to compete in the CL.
I defend Levy for his general running of the club but do find it frustrating that he seems to think last minute deals are a good idea. We obviously want additions in attacking areas and I can't defend the way he seems to put us in a position each window where we get rebuffed in the last couple of days and then have no time to go and find an alternative.

Fucken peach. Seedorfesque
Iniesta and Alonso still play for Barca and Bayern you know? lol what can we offer they can't?
So, with a day left...
Fazio, Bentaleb, Mason, Chadli - first teamers gone
Yedlin,Pritchard, Ball, Ward youngsters gone.
Fazio - replaced by Cameron Carter Vickers. Hardly involved. Squad filler and not really a loss.
Bentaleb - replaced by Wanyama. Looked bright, but not in Poch's plans. Another one that wasn't involved near the end of season
Mason - replaced by Winks. He did get some sub apps here and there. He wasn't really at his best after his injury set-back. Far behind Dier, Wanyama and Dembele in the pecking order. I reckon Winks can cover for his loss and be one to come in from the bench. With Dembele back one of Wanyama/Dier might already be on the bench before him though.
Chadli - last season not the best. Steady, but nothing more last season. Not sure Onomah is good enough yet.
Yedlin - KWP better prospect?
Pritchard - too many before him and injury prone, also don't want him to block Edwards.
Ball - we obviously rate CCV higher
Ward - look at Pritchard, another good player, but similar situation.
Sales are ok in my mind. Wanyama and Janssen are very good signings.

Net spend. So fuck. Myopic cunts.
The club is being run well as a business. We have other revenue streams and also other liabilities. Levy is doing a fine job.
What I would like to see is a shift in our collective Spurs attitude when linked with top players. We're in the highest tier of the club game, we should expect to be linked with the likes of Isco and McGinn.

Selling Mason was definitely justified - but he's a nice, hardworking lad who loves us.
I wish he'd been that little bit better/not made of glass, and could have been a valuable squad player moving forward.

1. Start of transfer window. Create post identifying areas of concern with squad and lack of depth.
2. Wait until last two days of the window.
3. Get overly excited about high level players we won't get and be extremely critical of others that aren't fit to be on our squad.
4. Post "We waited too long and ended up with no one, now we lack the depth to compete."
5. Repeat post with more emphasis and slagging of Levy as the closing of the window draws near.
6. End up empty handed.
7. Shift focus to next transfer window and support the squad.
8. Go to set up next transfer window thread and realize it is at 80 pages already.
9. Go back to step 1.

Fat John Mcginn was a shite joke the first time after the 67th time it's like pulling teeth !
It's a gift and a burden.You've done it now. Poch to Real in the summer. How could you do so with that username of yours.. Bastard.
Fair points well made. I'm excited to see Edwards get some time and I agree that space has been made for him with Pritchard's departure. Good to see, as well, that someone is coming around to my Onomah-is-shit school of thought.
I'm en route to Bergen right now by the way. That rainy Reich outpost. I'll say hallo aus Berlin to your countrymen from you.
You need to transfer yourself back to the forum toilet thread from where you were conceived dickhead
